Inkscape Roughen Filter

Problem

I commonly use the Roughen Filter to make my artwork a bit “hand drawn”. However, Filters commonly move pixels around, and any pixels that fall outside the bounding box of the original shape will not be rendered.

In this post I’m going to show how to adjust Filters region to prevent the clipping.

To get started, create a path and in this particular post we’ll add the Roughen Filter. (Menu > Filters > Distort > Roughen)

Solution

To fix the problem, open Filter Editor Dialog at Menu > Filter Editor > Filter General Settings. Untick were there’s a check box for Automatic Region and adjust accordingly.
